South, south, south, NORTH, wonder who will get it next! How's about the middle!!

However, may I ask for an extra prayer for my son's friend and all his fellow flyers who are flying those missions over Iraq.

WHAT is your problem?

[fivecatsandadog]

Thank you. That's basically what I said (see #8). Guess I should've been more EXPLICIT.

The Iraqi military said the allied warplanes on Sunday bombed areas in Basra province, 330 miles south of Baghdad, killing eight civilians and wounding nine others

Funny how according to them, our raids kill only civilians

Yeah, right. Civilians killed, no military, at a major military site. More B...SH-ussein

Wait a minute! Y'all both said exactly what I was THINKING!

I'll be happy to pray for your son's friend as well as all of our Military. May God protect them all.

Nice shootin' flyboys!

Why don't you go back to DU since you can't seem to figure out that we are at work [sic] with these people and they would kill you in an instant if their weapons were up and running!

Princess Leah, you've misread #8. The plain meaning is: Iraqis lie about their casualties. Dead bodies at MILITARY sites will generally be those of MILITARY personnel.

[fivecatsandadog]

Thanks. Betcha those cinnamon rolls are pretty warm by now.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting this.

Seems like there is a whole lot of Preemption going on over there.

Preemption, Preemptive Strikes, has such a nice sound to it!

The Iraqis will put their surveillance equipment in schools and hospitals, knowing we won't attack them there.

Thanks much, I did amend my post to include all our military.

You're very welcome. God bless you for praying for our Military. This Iraq mess does concern me. I have a feeling they're really going to need all of our prayers. I don't think this is going to be a replay of Desert Storm. I don't trust our Arab "Allies" and I sure don't trust Saddam. He's crazy and he's dangerous.

That was what I read, maybe it was a deeply hardened site and we wanted to make sure!!

But I thought that was a report from the Iraqi side and maybe they wanted to elevate the size as a morale booster. Would be nice to hear from Rumsfeld as to more details!

Prayers for our Military and our boys over there!

Have a couple of Granson's that are all hot to get into the action. One is a Senior in HS and just signed up for the Army Reserve, likes the Idea of the Special Forces. The younger one has a ex Marine Dad so as soon as he is old (2 more years) enough I expect him to enlist!

I don't think it is gonna be so easy this time.
I expect to see biological stuff used by Hussein.

[Grampa Dave]

That has to be tough to see Grandsons approaching military age. Of course they will want to do what is right and will volunteer.

Glad that my Bubba Bam Bam is only 18 months old at this time.

Me too. Pressure,pressure, pressure......anuerism

Hope Saddam forgets to take his blood pressure medication.

I like this kind of incremental war.......inch by inch......getting closer all the time!!!

A pity Viet Nam and Latin America impinge on my ability to petition God for mercy on those who know not what they do.

They know damn well what they do.

[OldFriend]

War has never been easy. Our troops in the gulf had a scud land on their barracks. The troops in Bosnia sufferred FAR more than clinton and his cohorts in the media ever let on.

Bless your boys for wanting to serve their country. It is indeed noble.
